APRIL 2014 BULLETIN - 'PHOENIX'

Rotary magazines is to advance the objects of Rotary in all aspects and provide articles of news and interest.

There are 31 regional publications worldwide. These magazines are published in 20 languages and cover 132 countries with a worldwide circulation of 769000. ‘The  Rotarian’  launched in 1911 has a circulation of about 500,000. As such, there has been an official Rotary magazine for almost as long as Rotary has been around.

All Rotary In the Rotary Calendar, we celebrate April as Magazine Month. The main purpose of the periodic publications, be they at club level, District, National or International,  are the product of a huge amount of work that goes into their preparation by very committed people.   Recently  clubs are turning to “social Media” to connect with members. A few  clubs have  abandoned the weekly/monthly  bulletin in favour of  Facebook.  Many clubs have gone to the electronic format mainly based on the District sponsored website/bulletin format as this gives the reader the option to access it over mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets. The Rotarian is also digitally available on ‘TheRotarianMagazine.com.’

Whatever the format, the traditional or the electronic, the Rotary magazines provide the  store house of the contents most valuable.
